On this episode of MindForce, I had the privilege of speaking with Brig Gen (Ret.) John “Dragon” Teichert about the small but meaningful ways to create lasting impressions in a career. One standout moment? John’s commitment to memorizing the accomplishments of award winners under his leadership—a practice that showed genuine respect and appreciation for their hard work. 💼👏

John shared how this wasn’t just a professional exercise but a family endeavor. Team Teichert worked together to ensure every detail was remembered, turning car rides into quiz sessions with his daughters! This small gesture of recognition cost nothing but left a deep and lasting impact on the morale of his team.

💬 What small actions have you taken (or experienced) that left a big impression? Let us know in the comments!
